Two Galaxy S6 (Sprint) SM-G920P's one has hotspot issue.

[Robert Bruce45]

As the title says, I have virtually identical Galaxy S6 (Sprint) SM-G920P's , one is mine and the other is wife's.
We also have a Samsung tablet.
We both tested setting up a hotspot.
Her's works perfectly with the tablet, but mine shows connecting flashing but will not connect to the tablet.

Could use some advice, pls..........

Welcome to Android Central! I moved this from the Galaxy S forum (for the ancient original Galaxy S phone) to the S6 forum.

I assume you're both on Sprint, correct? Have you asked Sprint about this? Have you tried connecting other wi-fi devices to your phone's hotspot?

Yes, as in my description "(Sprint)" we are using Sprint.
No, I have not contacted Sprint, I thought I'd give androidcentral a go first.
Our Samsung tablet will connect to my wife's S6 every time, but my phone just keeps cycling connecting. I would think that since my wife's S6 always connects without issue, that the problem lies in my S6.

Right, I saw that, but you never know -- sometimes people take a carrier-specific phone and bring it to a different network.

See if the same thing happens in Safe Mode (https://support.sprint.com/support/.../WScenario_542_60957_771_en_279-dvc9400003prd) or after a cache partition wipe: https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-29236
